Both Sides The Tweed     Words & Music: Dick Gaughan
This song calls for peaceful coexistence and understanding between peoples 
on "Both Sides the Tweed", the river of that name which forms part of the 
Scottish/English Border line. 

Chorus
Let the love of this land's sacred  rights, 
to the love of our people succeed. 
Let  friendship  and honour unite, 
And Flourish on both sides o' Tweed.

What's the spring-breathing jasmine and rose? 
What's the summer in all its gay  train. 
Or the splendour of autumn to those, 
Who've bartered their freedom for gain. 

No sweetness the senses can cheer. 
Which corruption and bribery  bind. 
No brightness that gloom can e'er cheer. 
For honour's  the sum  of the mind. 

Let virtue distinguish the brave, 
Place riches in lowest degree. 
Think them poorest who can be a slave, 
Them richest that dare to be free.
